Number Codes
The microwave oven is preset with shortcut
number codes. A number code includes one or
more of the following: cooking power, cook time
and food quantity or weight. See the charts in
the "Cooking" and/or "Reheating" sections for

30 Seconds feature. The START pad will start
any function. If not touched within 5 seconds
after touching a pad, "START?" will appear on
the display as a reminder. If not touched within
5 minutes after touching a pad, the display will

grammed function will be canceled.
If cooking is interrupted, touching the START
will resume the preset cycle.
The ADD 30 SEC. control starts the oven at

of the control. Once cooking begins, cook
power or cook time may be changed manually
by touching the appropriate display area and
entering the new setting.

the Easy Minute controls. When one of these
controls is touched (while no function is operat-
